On Saturday we headed into the forest once again! This time in search of a little Christmas tree. The newly fallen snow was covered with a thin layer of shimmering ice and the wind was blowing cold. We bundled up from head to toe, picked up our saw and ventured out. It was not too long until we came upon our tree. A wispy, etherial hemlock! We carried it home with bright red cheeks and set it into its holder. Its branches were too delicate to hold any ornaments (and we don't have any either!) so I quickly made this felt garland. I simply cut little square pieces from my beloved felt stashand strung them on embroidery thread. I made four different lengths and tied each end together. We draped it over our trees branches and it looked quite happy with its new felt jewels!
